Why Vegans shouldn´t say that plants do not feel pain and/or have no awareness

This is one of the pet peeves between deatheaters and vegans.

Vegans can only roll their eyes when deatheaters come with the argument that plants feel pain to, therefor vegans are also murderers.
Or even more hilarious.
"Think of the poor plants you eat, you monsters!"


If deatheaters really would care about plants, they wouldn´t eat animals.

Because it is something that even kindergarten children grasp,that animals have to eat many, many plants until they are grown up.

In the USA is 12 times more space used to grow hays for cows and other lifestock, than is used to grow vegetables for human consumption.

Most sources can tell you that cows are feed 12 pounds of grains/soy/corn to grow one pound of muscle(beef)-not to count the grass and hay they have to be feed too.

So even small children grasp the principe of the food chain and the convertion from food to bodily tissue.

To make it simple, deatheaters kill 10-15 times more plants just through feeding and raising animals for their plate.

Not to count the plants and animals that die when fields are plowed, sprayed and harvested which are not part of this food chain.


But that doesn´t stop deatheaters from swinging the argument..plants feel pain, therefor vegans are murderers too.




Well, I never heard a vegan say that plants are not alive or are not killed by eating them, so the argument that vegans are killers too and say otherwise is invalid.


Also that they are not better than deatheaters themselves is invalid, because people have to eat something to live...and vegans choose to eat stuff which causes the least harm.

The land that feeds 2 people with plants and meatproducts, can also feed 12 vegans.

But lets now get to the real issue....

Do plants feel pain and have self awareness?


Well, we can not say for sure....

100 years ago it was said that animals and non whites can not feel pain, they just react like automates to a stimulus.

But now we know that this isn´t true.

Plants are much more different to us than animals. We can not see nerves, a brain or a heart in plants.
But they are alive..they react to light, to insects, to pheromones of other plants that are warning them from approaching insects that want to eat them.

Plants communicate with each other.

With saying that plants do not feel pain or have no awareness, just because our imagination and science isn´t developed far enough, doesn´t mean it is so.

Or we would still believe that the world is flat and we could fall down from there into the nothingness.

Also the sun is moving around the earth..but we know that is not true...we evolved, our science got better, our horizon broadened.

When sometimes in the future scientists will bring the undeniable proof that plants feel and are selfaware, deatheater will just use that to taunt vegans further and say they are not better than themselves.

The best way to withstand pressure is to bend...and flow with it.

So let us say...yes it could be that plants feel pain and are selfaware and we just do not have the means to proof that nowadays.

Therefor it is even more important to eat a plant based diet, because that kills less plants(and animals) than eating meat from animals, which had first to be raised on hundredthousands more plants than if we had eaten the plants directly.

Becaus plants may be able to feel, go and kill less of them..eat a plant based diet if you really care
